I don't see any harm in it always assuming that it's flexible enough
to accommodate small variations.

Yes indeed templates can be a good thing, provided that they, as Bill
mentioned, have the flexibility to deliver variations to the code. Anything
that remotely resembles a pattern should be reworked by hand.

This is what Google says :

"Avoid doorway pages created just for search engines, or other cookie cutter
approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content."

I think that Paul's concept could be perceived as a "cookie-cutter
approach". Some automated content systems have already been banned and if
the approach you are suggesting appears to be even remotely resembling what
it has already established as banning material, well, you take your chances
for being awarded a penalty or worse. Try not to offer the SE pages that
have "little or no original content".

I always try to look at search engine spiders as being more intelligent than
most people are. I know it sounds nuts, but artificial intelligence has come
a long way in the last four / five years. Google in fact considers their
Googlebot to be just that, AI ( I forget where I read Google comment on
that ).

Try to keep this in perspective as none of my ideas are qualified as I have
not the SE secrets, nobody outside of the SEs does. Now the thing is, from
what I understand, is that the spider is programmed to find anything that
looks like a pattern in the delivery of the content. Some of these patterns
are natural occurrences that happen from developing a large volume of
content pages, some of these patterns are unnatural are created as an effort
to gain a SERP advantage or to get additional irrelevant keyphrase results.
Unfortunately the SE has to decide what is a valid technique and what is a
manipulation. Does it get this judgment wrong sometimes? I'm afraid it does.
